Binance is facing fresh turnover in its compliance ranks, with Bloomberg reporting departures from teams covering sanctions, investigations and financial crime monitoring.
According to the report, Chief Compliance Officer Noah Perlman has discussed leaving the company sometime this year or next.
Binance said no departure date has been set, no successor has been named and Perlman remains in the role.
Peter Van Logtenstein, Inga Petrauskaitė, Erin Fracolli, Jarek Jakubcek and Alex Côté were also listed among the recent exits, which Binance described as routine turnover and performance-related departures.
Perlman joined Binance in 2023 to run sanctions enforcement, financial crime monitoring and investigations.
Later that year, Binance pleaded guilty in a resolution worth more than US$4 billion with US authorities over anti-money-laundering, unlicensed money-transmitting and sanctions violations.
Co-founder Changpeng Zhao separately pleaded guilty to failing to maintain an effective anti-money-laundering programme.
The personnel changes come as Binance remains under scrutiny in Washington over Iran-linked activity involving its platform.
Senator Richard Blumenthal opened an inquiry in February and, in a 1 April follow-up, said Binance had still not produced all of the records requested by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
In a 10 March post, Binance put the value of funds that moved through a multi-hop network before ultimately reaching wallets with links to Iranian wallets at about US$126.1 million.
The company added that US$24.1 million of that amount reached wallets related to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and that the accounts involved were offboarded and reported to law enforcement.
Separately, in a 6 March response, Binance reported that it employs more than 1,500 compliance specialists and processed more than 71,000 law-enforcement requests in 2025.
